| 2024-11-23 |  | | Thought this was a brilliant solution after SuperBeam was too often flaky. Worked once, now won't send Android to Windows and the UI on either shows no indication of why. Mainly use to share the odd photo, so resorted to using my MEGA drive, which has been 100% reliable. |
| 2024-11-17 |  | | To start with worked perfectly, but it's developed a fault. When trying to sent a file from Android it says file can't be opened because it doesn't have permission - which it does! I've discovered that placing the file in a folder and doing a folder send works fine (proving the permissions message is rubbish). Fix this glitch to get my 5th star. BTW, I've uninstalled, reset permissions and stuff like that, still get the message ☹️ |
| 2024-11-15 |  | | I have used almost all available solution to trasfer files between my phone and pc wireless and offline. Some of them was good, but none of them met my all requirements. This is the only app that can do it. It's really a life saver❣️❣️. |
| 2024-11-14 |  | | It has been an amazing experience! I have many Google TV devices, Google TV TVs, and the app completely unifies all my devices. Even my windows and iOS devices! It is just wonderful |
| 2024-11-12 |  | | I am not able to send videos though the app from my android phone to ipad. It always shows error. For rest of the files, the app really works super fine |
| 2024-11-09 |  | | I was trying to transfer photos from my Samsung phone to Mac, and this app does not work at all now. It hangs while transferring the first photo and refuses to work. Have tried multiple times. Restarted both phone and mac but no success. |
| 2024-11-08 |  | | No more headache of sending files thru wire and having it stop halfway after hours of transfer. This app is a game changer. It's like having air drop but for android but also better because its faster |
| 2024-11-04 |  | | This app is a game-changer! LocalSend makes it incredibly easy to transfer files between devices quickly and securely without the need for internet or cloud storage. The interface is clean, and the app is straightforward to use. I especially appreciate the recent update adding a retry button for failed transfers – very thoughtful and useful! The open-source nature is a huge plus as well, providing transparen |
| 2024-11-02 |  | | Great idea and great implement. Simple and useful! Only one suggestion: add an option to receive files from a device via the web. I mean, if the other device doesn't have localsend, it's super helpful to be able to give them a link, and they can upload the files via their browser |
| 2024-10-28 |  | | As a user of both Android and macOS, I have tried numerous applications for file transfer, but none met my expectations. After countless attempts, I finally tried LocalSend on a friend’s recommendation. I must say, this app has been a life-saver for me. My sincere gratitude goes to the LocalSend team for developing such a reliable solution—thank you! |
